Club Signature project database

The district has designed a google form to collect data on signature projects within the Carolinas District in order to share that information so that in learning what each club is doing we can improve our impact in our local communities.

While
we are very proud of our Service Leadership Programs, as well as
Terrific Kids and the BUG program, the Carolinas District is not looking
to know about whether your club sponsors one....

Rather, we are looking
to see what ELSE your club is doing so that we can create a database
that can be used by our club membership to better those projects that
are being completed.

Signature
projects provide valuable and needed service to a community. They
elevate awareness of Kiwanis, engage current members and remind them why
they joined Kiwanis. Additionally, signature projects can increase
membership. Don’t forget to invite and involve potential new members in
your club’s next signature project.

A signature project is one that includes all of the following signature project criteria:

1) Recurring: At a minimum, the project should take place annually.

2) Brand
enhancing: The project should be designed to elevate the Kiwanis brand
in the local community with opportunities for public relations
activities, such as Kiwanis naming rights, media mentions, etc.

3) High
impact: The project should have a demonstrable positive impact on the
community; this impact should be measurable in monies raised, children
served, flags hung, playgrounds built, etc.

4)
Membership focused: The project should support opportunities to
strengthen membership and develop new partnerships.

TIP: A good question
to ask when identifying a signature project is “what community activity
or event is my club known for?”
